BRUSSELS: Mega occasions were redefined in the Indian context, as The Misprint launched its first issue at a star-studded gathering in Bhubaneshwar on Wednesday, February 26. An all-star team starring Panjim RSS Pracharak and Tantric clairvoyant Carlton D'Silva, Cod Liver Oil magnate and Philip C. Jacob, Banian connoisseur Joyojeet Pal, and Guiness Book awardee for condom balloon blowing Paulose Varughese joined hands to release India's first satire magazine.This higly original idea was imitated in advance by www.theonion.com, and www.satirewire.com, which used capitalist technology and time travel to steal the concept.

The four celebrities had initially planned on starting a "Three Musketeers Society" in Mumbai, but were unable to reconcile with the numerical complications of that. After months of debating what venture would be appropriate for their multivarious skills, they decided upon an upmarket fashion magazine.

At the launch gala, filmstars Jeetendra, Shahrukh Khan and Steven Seagal were refused entry. The party had several thousand naked dancers, mostly men whose clothes had fallen off during late stages of inebriation. One reveller was overheard saying, "This has even more fun than Mulayam Singh's Iftar party." The festivities were also followed by a special underwear-signing event in which famed Bollywood Celebrities and Congress Party Mahila workers wilfully donated their goolie poolies.

The Magazine will be released fortnightly and will contain path-breaking news reporting. Sports, Religion, Politics and Celebrities will be honoured regularly in our columns by star columnists Sunsilk Chacko, Janghia Prufrock and PeeVee. All design blotches will be handled by a mysterious man who calls himself The Gawd. So far, sections in our website include Headlines, mainly. Organizers of The Misprint have promised to come up with better material for the 'About Us' link.
